I keep a customized set of kshrc, zshrc, gvimrc, inputrc, and a bin directory that I migrate to most systems I work on. Then I make sure I have an ansi complient term-emu and decent shell. Term colors, readlib settings, aliases, vim colors/config/macros, etc. And in bin directory, a bunch of common templates that I use to throw together scripts or start new projects — add sockets interface, getopt, readline, lex/yacc template, etc. Sure, every time you need one of these in a project you can google for examples, but I’ve slowly created an archive that works well for me.
